What I'm clear about now is that the mind is a tool, a mechanism, and the soul provides the fuel for that machine. The less fuel you use, the more inefficiently the engine will operate.

Giving up is not the answer. Neither is giving in. Stand your ground. There is a way of doing that without having to be combative.
